Setup app and bot in Discord

Running the application

  • start a mongodb container using docker run -it -d -p 27017:27017 --name mongodb mongo
  • Create a secrets.py in essentials folder in the project. You can use the following template
class Secrets:
    def __init__(self):
        self.dbl_token = ''  # DBL token (only needed for public bot)
        self.mongo_db = 'mongodb://localhost:27017/pollmaster'
        self.bot_token = '' # official discord bot token
        self.mode = 'development' # or production

SECRETS = Secrets()
  • Run the application using python pollmaster.py
  • You can see the following :
AsyncIOMotorDatabase(Database(MongoClient(host=['localhost:27017'], document_class=dict, tz_aware=False, connect=False, driver=DriverInfo(name='Motor', version='2.0.0', platform=None)), 'pollmaster'))
Servers verified. Bot running.
